As most of you know, I have spent most of the last year working with the new Seattle Play Series on their debut set: The Green Lake Collection. Not only do I have a short play in the series, I was also in charge of all the design and layout for the project. For those of you who backed the Indiegogo project, your copy is being mailed to me as we speak and you should have it before Thanksgiving! For anyone who hasn’t purchased their copy yet, but wants to, click the link above, or the picture below, and it’ll take you straight to Amazon to get your own copy! The play is available in print, in every digital format, and, really, any way you could want it. Let me know if I missed a format…

BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION, SHORT FORM – Game of Thrones “The Rains of Castamere” written by David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, directed by David Nutter (HBO Entertainment in association with Bighead, Littlehead; Television 360; Startling Television and Generator Productions) Eh, I’m not a Game of Thrones fan, I find it all just excessive and unnecessary, but whatever, people like it.

Hey guys! Sorry for my long absence. Between some health stuff and major projects, I just haven’t had much time to review books and the like, but I will be back soon! Probably with a less aggressive review schedule. But for now, have a news digest!

I was interviewed for Relate Magazine, you should check it out here! It was a lot of fun, and I think its a great magazine dedicated to helping young women have healthy views of themselves and their opportunities in life.

I had a lot of fun working with the Dirty Little Bookers a couple months ago as their first Calling All Indies award winner, and they just finished designing the badge to put up on our stuff, so check it out!

From now until forever it’ll live in the sidebar as a point of pride.

For those of you on the mailing list, never fear, your free short stories will keep on coming. I’ve also been hard at work on the sequels to Undeliverable and Thea of Oz, so keep an eye out for those at the beginning of the next year.

If you’re getting ready to do Christmas presents, why not gift a book? Between Undeliverable and Thea of Oz, I can cover most literary tastes, and if you want to give something hand-made, why not check out my Etsy store? Lots of pretty things at reasonable prices!

I hope you all have had an awesome September, and are looking forward to October. I know I sure am. I’ve got some fun projects I’ll talk to you guys about in a few days!

To celebrate, I’m running a give-away for a signed and personalized copy of Thea! There are a lot of ways to enter, including sharing the fact that its up for sale, or reviewing Thea on any of the links below. Make sure to include the link to your review on the RaffleCopter below. Happy Reading!

My time as the spotlighted indie author on Dirty Little Bookers is coming to an end, but check out my interview on their site! Its pretty awesome if I do say so myself, and talks about things like my dream writing space.

Hey all! As some of you may remember, the Dirty Little Bookers had chosen me as their first Indie Author spotlight, and they’ve posted their reviews of Undeliverable! You should go check them out. I’m working on an interview for them now!

Hello all, this last week was a doozy, including emergency grant proposals, book proposals, a bedbug infestation that my roommate brought back from NYC, all on top of a minor medical procedure. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled posts next week. For now, I’m going to sleep…if I can ever get these phantom itches to go away…

Dirty Little Bookers posted a poem of mine, “Plasticide” over at their website. Check it out! A disclaimer…I wrote this originally for a school assignment while on a band trip, with the help of the entire low brass section. That probably explains a lot…
